Showing Love



Valentine's Day.
It is an extra special day in our house.

I started decorating the mantels in the living room and dinning room.






I went with simple in the living room.
All of these books are some from my mother's collection I inherited. 
I have them separated by color and they come in handy.
The book on the bottom stack under the pitcher is Worlds Greatest Letters.
Some of the books have dates back to 1912.

LOVE


Simple but it makes a statement.
Aren't the letters great. 
I found them at a craft show this past fall.


Lots of hugs and kisses here.



A sampling of the treats the kids will make for their teachers this Valentine's. 

Simple, that is my word for this year.

All of the snow we received this past weekend was put to great use.
Mr. M. and I took the kids and their friends sledding.
We all had lots of fun.

I hope all my East coast blogger friends were able to find a good way to enjoy the snow. 
Even if it meant staying inside relaxing.

You will have to stop back later in the week to find out why Valentine's Day is extra special for us if you don't already know.

Too Ghoul to be Cool



Halloween is at full steam ahead.

It is amazing how much work you can cram in two days.
Mr. M. and I managed to put in the in floor radiant heat in the addition in less than two days.
One step closer to being done!

I also managed to finished the kids Halloween invitations and mailed them, a little late.
Finish some more decorating.

And we squeezed in our annual trip to the Pumpkin Farm.
It was a beautiful fall day there.



Crows on a branch in the kitchen.
A simple idea with lots of effect.




Kitchen mantel all spooked out.



The toe tag was using a graphic from Brooklyn Brownstone.


This guy screamed so much he blew off his lower jaw.



This pumpkin is on top of a cabinet in the kitchen.
He is set on a timer so he lights up early in the morning to greet the kids before school and again at night when it is dark out.


A start to the dinning room centerpiece. 
Gotta love the red glue gun blood.
